Re: LPRng: Xerox Phaser 4500DT
I'll tell you what it was -- it's actually rather interesting. Maybe you can be of help here since you obviously have experience with coding for these printers (I haven't tried your stuff yet -- has some odd dependancies that I don't plan to satisfy :)). 'snmp_printer_status', the LPRng/ifhp tool to get printer status (surprise ;)) retrieves the status and prints it out in a PJL like format. Everything's great with that under most circumstances. HOWEVER, occaisionally the Xerox printer will return a status message with high ASCII in it. Here is an example: OK: STATUS= Ready to Print. BAD: STATUS= 0x526561647920546f205072696e742e20547261792032205061706572204973204c6f7720507265737320b6 developer ARGH! ARGH! Vivian just showed me this email, and it is fixed in the next release of ifhp snmp_printer_status. The fix is pretty simple: s/(..)/chr hex(\1)/eg if( s/^0x// ); - put this in at the appropriate locations. Patrick (Hats off to Ryan for finding this) Powell /developer ..the second message says, if my memory serves me correctly, something like: Ready to Print. Tray 2 Paper Low. For Help Press (i) ..where in this case, the (i) is ASCII 182. Net::SNMP sees that char and returns the whole thing in hex. Lovely, if you aren't trying to read it as a textual string. I don't know enough Perl to really know how to fix that. ANYWAY, that was the problem. Any kind of condition that would cause the printer to write back and include that (i) (or, while printing, a right-justify character to make it say Tray 2 all the way at the right). Anyways, this probably warrants some attention, as the 4500 is the replacement for the now-out-of-production 4400 (which seems to be a rather big hit on this list). Believe me -- long and winding road to this point, heh. _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - User Support Spec.

Re: LPRng: Revisiting a Ricoh Aficio 350e issue
The driver is adding that stuff to the beginning, interestingly enough ONLY when the driver is installed remotely (Samba), not on the local PC. At any rate, I've got the driver set up how I'd like, and file tosses the file (even though had it gone right to the printer, it woulda printed). Just looking for the best course of action here. I could make it a passthrough, but people print to it from UNIX sometimes, so I'd rather not do it that way. Thanks. _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - User Support Spec.

Re: LPRng: ifhp-3.5.16 / HP-UX 11i compile error
I have gotten a little farther with this one. To get it to compile, I changed (in monitor.c): setlinebuf(stdout); to: setvbuf(stdout, (char *)NULL, _IOLBF, 0); ..only problem is, it doesn't work when built. Sits at the starting transfer stage and doesn't move any farther along. I really need to update my ifhp and I'd appreciate any help anyone could provide. The issue here is that HP-UX does not have setlinebuf, and has setvbuf instead.

From Chapter 11 of the above: Well, if you read your original post, LPRngTool wasn't mentioned until several items in, leading me to beleive that you had edited by hand to set up the queues -- otherwise, not being familiar with LPRngTool, I probably would not have chimed in. ;) The following is an example of a simple printcap entry that can be used to send a job to a remote printer using the RFC1179 protocol: # *LPRng* syntax # :lp value is 'where to print the job' lp: :[EMAIL PROTECTED] # OR Vintage BSD Print Spooler Syntax # (*LPRng* supports this as well) # :rp = remote printer, :rm = remote machine or host lp: :rp=raw:rm=10.0.0.1 I also want the TCP/IP (jet direct, etc.) section of LPRng Tool to allow me to add the queues name (rp) to it. Umm... nuh-uh. See, this is where it seems like there's some confusion. When printing via TCP/IP on the JetDirect interface, there are NO queues and you print on port 9100. If you want to print to an rp on a remote printer, you are speaking of RFC1179 LPR printing -- distinctly different. One cannot (again, to my knowledge) combine the two. Perhaps in LPRngTool you have somehow selected LPR and TCP/IP simultaneously and this is why it's doing this...? My ideal LPRng Tool is one where I have NO HAND WORK after I use it. :-) Agreed! :) --Tony p.s. pilot error ?!?!?!

Re: LPRng: Six bugs to fix
On Fri, 23 Jan 2004, Anthony Ewell wrote: Hi All, In the process of installing LPRng, I do believe I have uncovered several bugs. This is my configuration: snip First some background. When I am addressing a Jet Direct print server or similar, I have traditionally addressed it in /etc/printcap as such: :rm=192.168.255.7 :rp=raw1 I seems that LPRng has changed this to :[EMAIL PROTECTED] It sticks rm, rp, and the port number all into lp. This I can live with, EXCEPT: Well, the real problem here to my eyes is that you are ending up with a [EMAIL PROTECTED] You use the first or the last (like before and after on Wheel of Fortune ;)), but I don't think altogether that that is proper syntax. If you are doing it, it's bad syntax (though you seem to be indicating the software is doing it -- but read below...) snip BUG 3: the new super lp method does not work. /etc/printcap must be hand edited to the following: # :rm=192.168.255.7 # :[EMAIL PROTECTED] :lp=192.168.255.7%9100 :rp=raw1 Note that you must A) use an lp, rp pair, and B) remove the queue name and @ symbol (raw1@) from lp. BUG 4: if you edit the queue with LPRngTool, LPRngTool will change the lp, rp pair back to the super lp method. Meaning you have to remember to hand edit the lp, rp pair back into /etc/printcap. BUG 5: Speaking of LPRngTool, I need to be able to specify the print queue name (rp) when setting up a printer for LPR/LPD. LPRngTool removes this option when setting up this kind of printer. This creates a real mess when setting up a Jet Direct 500x with three queues names (raw1, raw2, and raw3) for each of its three parallel ports. OK, if I'm right about the above portion (I'm pretty certain I am as I've been doing this awhile ;)), you've got this all hosed. Like I said above, you pick the proper port (ie 9100, 9101, etc.) OR you pick a queue and the port used is 515 (LPR). AFAIK, both is bad syntax. My personal recommendation is: :[EMAIL PROTECTED] ...this should do what you want. If you are using 9100, you should omit the queue name as each port will be defined as a particular queue. Again, this is only as I understand it, but I believe I answered this question already on the list in the past and others concurred with my understanding. Now, a caveat here that I've noticed is if you are using ifhp as your filter (you have not indicated either way), you will most likely want: :lp=/dev/null :[EMAIL PROTECTED] ...something about the addr already being open while ifhp tries to access it -- but this does not seem like your problem. Bottom line: if rm/rp does not work and inserts 9100 at the end without you suggesting it (I don't believe it did last time I tried it), that is a bug. If you are manually using a queue name and port name, I think it's pilot error.

Re: LPRng: One printer with 2 queues
The way this is done is to implement bounce queues. Neither of the two queues actually talks to the printer. Instead the third one does.

Has anybody found a reasonable way to get pagecount data out of
the HP Laserjet 4100?
Coincidently I've been looking at this as well, since I found the same
problem with zero page counts for 1 page print jobs.
I searched back through some previous mailing list messages I'd saved and found
one from Fernando Blanco Marcilla [EMAIL PROTECTED] sent on Jan 22nd
2002 with a subject HP-4100 Pagecount problem. A possible solution. I don't
think Fernando has said anything in to this thread so far so I hope he doesn't
mind if I do it for him!
I've attached his message below so you can see what he said back then.
I've also tried his patch with ifhp 3.5.10 (the code is essentially the same in
the affected areas but the line numbers are off so I've also attached an
updated version of the patch.
It actually does seem to work for me, in that if I run ifhp in debugging mode,
it exits with the correct page count almost exactly as soon as the last page of
a job finishes printing.
I've also tried this patch on an hp4000, a 4050 and an 8000 and it seems to
work on all of those. However, it doesn't work on an older hp5m we still have.
So right now I'm attempting to understand more of what is going on here to see
if I can figure out *why* his patch works for the newer printers but not for
the 5m. And I'd rather not put it into production use until I do understand
it, so if anyone can explain it I'd like to hear...

Logic and my experience indicate that the answer to your question is yes. Adobe controls the PostScript spec and many of the applications which generate PostScript. HP and Lexmark do not use the official Adobe PostScript interpreter in their printers - they have written their own interpreters. This is called PostScript emulation. PostScript is not completely defined by its spec - it is also defined by how applications use it. No matter how carefully someone emulates PostScript, an application can use perfectly legal code in such a way as to make an interpreter fail. My experience is that when we started using Xerox printers, which use a licensed Adobe PostScript interpreter, many of our printing problems disappeared. -Rick -- |Rick Cochran phone: 607-255-7618| |Cornell CIT - Systems Operations - Net-Print FAX: 607-255-8521| |730 Rhodes Hall, Ithaca, N.Y. 14853email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]| - YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.

I have run into a Windows NT 4 system that reliably brings up the 79.00FE error on HP8150 printer which requires to power-cycle the printer every time it happens. The print jobs are sent from the NT4 system to a Samba server which then forwards them to LPRng. The NT4 system has the latest HP8150DN postscript driver installed (dating from 1999). I have managed to configure Samba so that it just saves the file instead of forwarding it to LPRng. If I try to print this file directly, bypassing the LPRng print server using the lightweight mode of LPRng's lpr command, it still bluescreens the printer. This happens with everything that the NT4 system attempts to print. The output file seems to contain PJL commands. I could post the file if anyone is interested.

Argh! I had never seen this with the software I was using and since vi didn't show the NULL's, I just assumed that the beginning was fine... I got the same thing printed to file or looking at the df from the spool directory. Looks like the driver is hosed. I am using the Win2k v3.1 PCL3 driver (it calls the LANGUAGE PCL3GUI for some reason). The PS driver doesn't do that, but then again, PS sucks on this printer which is the whole reason I am doing this anyway! If you wouldn't mind, sure. I don't know whether it's the driver for this OS in particular, but the PS drivers even for 2k don't do it.

When the jobname includes the comma character (,), the printer returns the jobname split in two lines: the first line returned contains the jobname to the comma, and then, the rest of the jobname is in another line. This is why the returned jobname never matches the original jobname, and therefore, you can never obtain the end-of-job condition expected with the pjl_waitend_byjobname option. And the job remains in the queue forever. I think that this is the only small problem with the pjl_waitend_byjobname patch. I think that, in another patch I sent to LPRng list, I avoided this comma-problem by changing somewhere a strcmp statement by a strstr one in the Do_waitend routine. This made the end-of-job detection test less strict.

Re: LPRng: Problem with 'file'
There is a LOT different. The most noticeable seems to be the outputs of cmp -l in the first column are about 2-3 times larger than the second one. I'm guessing maybe vi chopped some long lines, if that's what those numbers are? Why would ifhp care? In any case, I'm going to produce a set of small df's to post and see what the consensus is... this is driving me /nuts/. _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent. | IST/ACS - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 On Tue, 24 Jun 2003, Dave Lovelace wrote: Ryan Novosielski wrote: Nope -- the file behaves exactly the same after the tr (I redirected it to another file), and still will work only after being vi'd (or probably otherwise massaged, but this is what I know works). I was somewhat doubtful about CRs being the problem; in my experience, vi leaves them alone. (The vim that's on the RedHat Linux I use most now invisibly assumes that you really mean to edit a DOS/Win file, strips them off when you start editing, and adds them back when you save. vi on the Unix versions I'm familiar with treats them as characters, displayed as ^M.) A suggestion for determining what *is* changing: - make a backup copy of your file - load save with vi as you've been doing - Look at the files. Are they still the same size? Try cmp -l (that's lowercase L to look for differences. Also, these are supposed to be text files, IIRC, aren't they? Try running the before after versions through cat -vt and running diff on the results. Actually, I just had a thought. Probably not the cause of your problem, but one thing I *know* vi is apt to do to a file. If your file ends without a linefeed, vi will add one. (Again, I'm assuming I'm remembering correctly that this is supposed to be text for this idea to make any sense at all.) In that case, echo yourfile would work as well as running through vi. -- - Dave Lovelace [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] - YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.

Re: LPRng: HPDJ755CM help
Sam, I bet I am using it, and yes, it does work very well for me... EXCEPT: I am getting large black fields, usually toward the end of the posters. It seems to be random, and could even be hardware I /suppose/, but it seems like an awfully big coincidence that the lab staff started complaining to me right around when I started to use the hpgl2 code for the printer. I am reading the PS header out of the dfAXXX... file in /var/spool/lpd. Does this mean the Mac is sending it? I don't know why it would be, as I'm using the driver for that printer and that printer does not speak PS3. Can I ask you what the second part of your ifhp entry does? (the pjl_ustatus section). This part I do not have, and I'm wondering if the reason the printer is bombing out toward the end is it gets some bad data in the form of status polling and starts printing black -- it's wasting a lot of time, ink, and paper at the moment. On a good note, the plotter is being replaced with an 800ps in the near future.

Re: LPRng: Ricoh Afico 350e
It claims that everything is sent via [EMAIL PROTECTED] (for LPD) or sent on port 10001. I so far haven't gotten postscript out of it via LPRng, but a co-worker of mine says he bypasses the queue and does get PS to work. Incidentally... I discovered the source of my problem. My boss' workstation with a standalone driver for the printer prints with PJL in the header, and the job prints properly. The drivers I have hosted on the Samba server I have are tacking this onto the beginning of the dfA...'s: ^NM-s^_M-QM-- I don't know what the hell that is, so I really don't know what I could do with the magic file. It calls a file prefaced with this a data file, and then for some reason it makes the leap to PS and prints out some PS headers stairstepped across the page.

I have compiled these batches from source on HP-UX machines (Samba and LPRng). However, at home, I recently switched from BSD to LPRng on Debian Linux (3.0). In the printer window at home on Win2k, I see Printed for done jobs (makes much more sense and allows a person to distinguish done and held jobs). The Samba version here is 2.2.3a-12 for Debian. LPRng version is 3.8.10. Can someone on here explain to me why this might be happening? One variable I can eliminate right away is Win98 vs. Win2k -- I believe the same Win2k machine shows Paused at work, but I will check that out when I am able to. But I suppose my question is, is it possible that Samba or LPRng was fixed as a part of Debian to cause this behavior? Is there some configuration option I can set to make the copy at work act this way? The status reported on your Windows box depends on whether Samba found certain strings in the lpq output. You can find the strings it's looking for in printing/lpq_parse.c, defined in strings stat[012]_strings. We had a problem for a while where a queue that had the word paper in the name would always report status paused. Turned out samba was looking for paper (as in paper jam) and report the queue paused, even when the queue was printing. I don't know where printed would come from. I suspect the Debian people tweaked the samba code-base to report a reasonable status back when lprng leaves X jobs sitting in the queue with status done. Shouldn't be all that hard to do.

If you have access to the ANSI-C compilers (/opt/ansic/bin/cc), give them a whack. Thanks, Ryan. Yes, I do have the HP ANSI C compiler and used it to compile LPRng and ifhp without the warnings received from gcc. So I have LPRng working on it's own. I also have ifhp working fine separately. Now when I configure a print queue to use ifhp, the print job just hangs. I think there is a problem in LPRng/ifhp on HP-UX 11.00 and 11.11 that prevents one from passing jobs to the other. In fact, I created a simple shell script filter and put that in the printcap. Jobs to that queue hang too. So it's not ifhp. It's filters in general. I can't quite pin it down. See another thread in the mailing list titled HP-UX 11i, LPRng, and ifhp. I see you've added a message to that thread. I'll try your suggestion. If you have LPRng and ifhp working on HP-UX, what configure options did you use and how was it built?

LPRng: Stalling Printers...
Anyone having trouble with the PS implementation on the newer HP printers? I have an 8150 and 4100 that I suspect are falling prey to memory leaks (they work well went power-cylced, and get slower and slower after continued use). Is there an empty RAM command I can send if need be? Any way to make this all go away? It's apparently frequent 70.00FE errors with PCL or this with PS... great printers...

Hello Joel and Jim, One question to ask the Lanier folks would be where the print controller of the copier/printer collects the job name from when it processes a job. Your discussion to date has assumed that it is getting the data from the LPD daemon running on the print controller parsing the control file generated by LPRng when the job is transferred through Samba to the printer. It is also possible the accounting function of the copier/printer is reading header information (PostScript or PJL) in each actual received job to find the user instead of the LPRng control file. If this turned out to be true, it would explain why the changes you were testing didn't have any effect at the copier/printer. Just a thought...

You can add other lines for other printers (or that was the intent).
I'm working on updating the scripts a bit, preferably such that they will take
args from ifhp rather than pulling them from the printcap. You shouldn't have to use
that script for anything other than waitend functionality, since the PJL pagecounting
seems to work just fine with the HP printers yet. Phasers have a strange idea of
when the page counter should update, which makes them interesting to deal with (at
best).
The following XML entries should work for the HP printers:

This is a very strange problem!?! I am now debating to compile LPRng with done_jobs=0 to see if that works( at this point I doubt it). I might have missed a clue - is the printer saying it's Paused, or the last job printed saying that it's Paused after being printed? :done_jobs=0 relates to the printed job, not the printer... Do you have guest ok=yes in the printer's subsection in smb.conf? e.g. [HP4Plus] guest ok=yes or [Printers] guest ok=yes I also have some more interesting data for the problem 1.)The HP 4m printer all of a sudden started to work it showed ready!! I come back about 5 mins later and it showed pause again This means other print jobs on the printer are affecting the samba print queue... See if it shows Paused when it's in Power Save mode, and Ready when it's in Ready mode. If the JetDirects are 10/100, try setting them to 10MHz/Half Duplex and see if it changes anything. 100Base-TX Full Duplex doesn't do much ack/nack'ing, IIRC. 2.) I have switched everything over to tcp 9100 and back again to lpd after testing the done_jobs parm still no fix. I've used both-9100 may enable Bi-Directional comms; raw doesn't, IIRC. 3.) I have never printed a job on this server it is a test. I figured that print_jobs=0 means that lprng keept old jobs around to so I cleared out all of the queues and reset up the printers. again paused printer,, With no print jobs That's what made me think about whether the printer status was Paused, and not the print job... 4.) Is CUPS better for communicating status info with samba? I would hate to switch to CUPS since CUPS looks more complicated. Me too... 5.) is there a way to get samba to kick out more detailed info about the printer status( or what it thinks is the printer status). Kick the log level up to 3 for more, up to 10 for a LOT more... 6.) I am checking the status by double clicking on the computer. then the printers share on that computer. I then click on a printer and wait for the refresh on my win2k to say ready or fail Were these printers installed when using an older version of samba? If so, try adding disable spoolss=yes and use client driver=yes to [Global] in smb.conf then restart samba and see if they're still flaky. Jim Shane Any Ideas are helpful!!! P.S.

Re: LPRng: Samba and done_jobs
Oh, that's certainly an option, yes, but if you'd like to see the done jobs in, say, lpq normally (or at least have the capability of seeing them), then you are not able to do this. Instead, you'd want something to throw onto the end of the lpq line in smb.conf that would tell lpq to not show them for just that one application. This is the case for me. If I have done_jobs set to 5, and my DesignJet runs out of ink or paper, I don't have to call the user back in to re-queue the job, I can just 'lpc redo' it. However, Windows is unable to do this in the first place (it can only pause and unpause - done jobs appear paused, but so what, you can't issue a redo with Windows (unless you can afford to set the pause/unpause commands differently (I can't))), so what do I need them displayed in the listing for? Incidentally, Samba does have special support for working with LPRng, but I don't believe it's exactly caught up to allow for all of the special features that LPRng has by now. You can use it perfectly for simple stuff, but... some things confuse it a little. _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent. | IST/ACS - New Jersey Medical School - C630 On Mon, 29 Jul 2002, Akop Pogosian wrote: On Wed, Jul 24, 2002 at 10:30:33AM -0400, Ryan Novosielski wrote: You note in the HOWTO that done jobs could be a problem for Samba.

The problem here is that we have 4 campus servers. Each one hosts a Samba domain. Sometimes, users for whatever reason will go to a different campus (where they may or may not have an account -- the problem occurs when they do not). They log in using the Samba domain of their home site, but attempt to use printers on the campus they are visiting. While the PC they are using knows what their username is, and I can take this on good faith, since they do not have an account on the machine Samba serving the printers, their jobs print as the network guest user. This is clearly a problem for accounting. Does anyone know of a way for LPRng to find out who the client PC is logged in as by the time accounting occurs?

LPRng: Problems with HP 8150
I'm having a big problem with my HP LaserJet 8150 (excuse me if I asked about this already, but I'm going senile a touch early and don't see it in my sent-mail, so here goes...). The thing lately is printing way way slow... like a large delay, maybe 15 seconds, between print jobs. My 4100 next to it can print about 15 times faster, with no delays. It seems especially poor with certain websites. Something of note is that the printer is part of a pool with the 4100, meaning that in windows, we use a printer driver that is somewhat the least common denominator (an HP4000 PS driver) of them. I don't think that has much to do with it, because it started a couple of months ago. The only thing I can think of that this coincides with is my upgrading to LPRng 3.8.1 and the corresponding ifhp (3.4.7). Any ideas about how to fix this? As you can imagine, a pool with the fast printer grinding to a halt can get pretty frustrating for the users.

Re: LPRng: Good idea
Does this affect the status of jobs that are held because of the
accounting script return code? Jobs that were held by my accounting script
originally would drop the job ID field as they waited to be released.

I tried this, but it does not seem to work either. The job remains
active for a long time in the
queue but never prints. However, the HP 10PS Designjet is actually a
color printer, and you are actually mentioning that you don't use this
in color printer,
so might this be the reason? Thanks in advance, Fabrizio.

LPRng: Jobs will not release
I have some color printers with :ah set -- these work fine and are not the problem. HOWEVER, I have some lasers that are in a pool, ljnlab: laser1 and laser2. I have an accounting script that holds jobs when the user does not have enough quota to print any longer, and holds them there until they are released by a lab assistant after their quota is augmented. However, when the lab assistant (or me, as root, so it isn't a permissions thing) does: $ lpc release ljnlab 364 ...the job says started or whatever it would say, but then is still held. I do it immediately after, so I know it isn't related to the accounting script (it takes several seconds to get to that stage). It just seems as if it lies to me and claims to be releasing when it is not. This SEEMS to be different between 3.7.4, which I believe is the most recent version I ran before this, and 3.8.1. Any requests for more info or any insights anyone can offer? _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 732/235.4170 (5-4170) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent. | IST/ACS - Robert Wood Johnson MS - S-B11 - YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.

Re: LPRng: Status messages and what one can do with them...
I got impatient and went poking around for the answer. :) Lo and behold, the printer name is already stored in $PRINTER, as well as some other exciting environment variables (I believe the entire control file was in another). I did a dump of the environment from my notifier script to fnd them all.

Re: LPRng: HP 4100N page count
Mine is 01.016.0, but it has been upgraded twice by HP in efforts to fix
the problem once and for all -- it didn't work, however. This is the best
I have gotten so far. However, I believe I started at 01.009.0 and my
printer behaved better than that. You might try contacting HP. Do you get
pagecount values besides the 0 pages printed (ie. a number before and
after?)

LPRng: LPRng and Samba
This is technically more of a Samba problem, but I bet someone will be willing to help me a little here. The problem here is that we have 4 campus servers. Each one hosts a Samba domain. Sometimes, users for whatever reason will go to a different campus (where they may or may not have an account -- the problem occurs when they do not). They log in using the Samba domain of their home site, but attempt to use printers on the campus they are visiting. While the PC they are using knows what their username is, and I can take this on good faith, since they do not have an account on the machine Samba serving the printers, their jobs print as the network guest user. This is clearly a problem for accounting. Does anyone know of a way for LPRng to find out who the client PC is logged in as by the time accounting occurs? We don't wish to just give away pages to students who happen to travel. It's a shame the setup is the way it is, but I'm just looking for a way to make this work in our current environment.

Re: LPRng: Printing from non UNIX clients possible?
Yes. I send jobs via LPR without a problem using the software that apparently comes with HP Printers. The printer port is referred to as HP Standard TCP/IP Port. The only time this didn't work was with a Windows NT server accepting jobs from a lab and then forwarding them to LPRng -- the queue would often hang and the NT machine's queue status said Restarting. But, yes, for a lab of about 20 Windows PC's, maybe more, I am successfully using LPRng to recieve LPR spooled jobs in my university. _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent. | IST/ACS - New Jersey Medical School - C630 On Mon, 7 Jan 2002, David L.

Re: LPRng: JABORT/JFAIL with smbclient command in a print filter
Take a look at the output of lpq -Ptest -l or -ll (add more until you see something useful, or do -L -- for a more verbose output) and see what you discover. There may be a badly placed CR or something in the command when sent through Samba, or the path may not be what you expect. _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent. | IST/ACS - New Jersey Medical School - C630 On Fri, 4 Jan 2002, Joel Hammer wrote: This may be a second post of this problem, but I didn't get a single reply to my first post so maybe it didn't get posted for some reason. I am trying to print to a samba shared printer with linux, but am having a print filter problem. I have set up a queue test2 to write to the share test. The printer test works fine locally with lpr -Ptest filetoprint and works fine with the command below ON THE COMMAND LINE: cat FileToPrint | enscript -Z -p - | smbclient //hammer2/test -N -c print - However, the command in a print filter: enscript -Z -p - | smbclient //hammer2/test -N -c print - fails with a JABORT message in the status file when run by lpd. Removing the smbclient command allows the filter to function normally. This filter script works when called from the command line: cat FileToPrint | /var/spool/lpd/test2/filter.
